Sun Jiao is not worried about how many old faces there are in the court, but how many new faces there are.

That is, to tell Jiang Mian that if Yang Yiqing, Xie Qian and others are re-employed, the result will be a big change of blood among the courtiers, and the emperor's use of old ministers is just a pretense, in order to add some new people.

This can be regarded as Sun Jiao giving Jiang Mian a vaccination.

If Zhu Hao rises in the court, don't blame me for not reminding you.

After Jiang Mian finished talking with Sun, he returned to the cabinet room, and then was called aside by Mao Ji.

After Yang Tinghe left, the cabinet seemed to be a lot colder, everyone was silent and had their own thoughts, except for Jiang Mian and Mao Ji getting close, Fei Hong and Liu Chun did not deliberately want to get close, and they seemed to know that the current Jiang Mian may not be able to get the emperor's trust and respect.

「…… What did Zhitong tell you?"

Mao Ji asked directly.

Jiang Mian said Sun Jiao's words roughly.

"Alas!"

Mao Ji sighed and said, "It seems that Jiefu's concern is not unreasonable, Your Majesty has recently wanted to make some changes in personnel, so it seems that Your Majesty does not mean to reuse it...... Those two?"

Mao Ji deliberately lowered his voice, and naturally referred to Fei Hong and Liu Chun.

Now Jiang Mian and Mao Ji are very wary of Fei Hong and Liu Chunke, because Yang Tinghe's previous worry is that the emperor is ready to replace Mao Ji with Fei Hong as the first assistant.

But the emperor doesn't seem to have any intention of reusing Fei Hong now, but actively promotes the recall of Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian to the court.

Jiang Mian said, "Could it be Your Majesty, who wants to remove all the people in the cabinet at once? Then why did he actively let In-jung enter the cabinet in the first place?"

Jiang Mian thought for a long time and couldn't ask for an order, because even if the emperor wanted to re-recruit Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian, he would have to use one of the two as the first assistant, the problem was that if the four members of the cabinet in front of him were not removed, Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian would always be ranked behind in terms of entering the cabinet sooner or later.

No matter what Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian's experience as officials in the past, even if Xie Qian was one of the three cabinet ministers of Hongzhi, they will have to be arranged again after re-entering the cabinet, which is very different from having to leave halfway.

If Yang Yiqing or Xie Qian are the first assistants, it means that none of the four members of the cabinet will be left, which is inconsistent with the emperor's previous intention to actively promote Fei Hong and Liu Chun to enter the cabinet.

Mao Ji said: "If Your Majesty really intends to add ministers, you should also give priority to the Hanlin Bachelor."

"Hmm."

Jiang Mian nodded in agreement.

At present, there are two Hanlin scholars, namely Shi Xuan and Feng Xi, these two are considered to be people from Yang Ting and the faction, even if they are not the core, at least they will not be out of shape in terms of policy implementation, and they can be restrained by Jiang Mian, especially now that Shi Xuan is still in charge of the matter.

It stands to reason that there is really the next candidate to join the cabinet, and Shi Xuan is what everyone expects.

……

……

As soon as Yang Tinghe retreated, the people of the DPRK and China were uneasy.

Everyone is wondering who will be the next person to retire, whether it will be their turn, or who will be the next official to join the cabinet......

If there is a guess in my heart, it will affect the daily official business, and the efficiency of the DPRK and China seems to have slowed down, or it may be that without Yang Tinghe and constraints, the various yamen of the DPRK and the Central Committee have begun to slack off in their work, and they can do water.

These days.

Zhu Hao is busy with some "personal matters".

The first is to help Jing Hong enter the Guozijian, and now without Yang Tinghe's constraints, as long as someone comes forward, it can be completed smoothly, and the person who handled this matter happened to be Tang Yin, who had just returned to Beijing and was already reviewed by Hanlin.

The second is the expansion of Zhu Hao's own workshop.

Or because Yang Tinghe is gone, Zhu Hao needs to gradually make some of the workshops that were originally secretly operated public.

Zhu Hao's weaving workshop in the capital has basically been able to meet the clothing of the small half of the north, in terms of loom efficiency alone, it is not comparable to manual work in this era, before Zhu Hao used the cloth for military supplies, but with the further increase in production, it gradually began to move towards retail.

There is also the issue of Lu Zhanqing's placement.

After Zhu Hao returned to Beijing, he was warmly received for the first time, after all, Lu Zhanqing has always been accepted

Zhu Hao helped.

Lu Zhanqing was in a good mood when she saw Zhu Hao, but not because she saw Zhu Hao, but because she knew that Yang Tinghe had returned to his hometown.

"It's a pity that I couldn't get him to prison, and I will be a sinner for 10,000 years." Lu Zhanqing had some regrets.

Woman.

Once there is hatred, there is no need to care about anything else.

Zhu Hao said: "Your grandfather's letter, I believe you have read it, he is fine now, he is also a civil servant who stayed in the guard, he has been well taken care of, and he has relatives who have gone to defect. In a few years, I will be able to return to my hometown smoothly and retire for the rest of my life."

Lu Zhanqing thanked Zhu Hao for saluting.

Zhu Hao then took out some silver, all of which were fine silver ingots, and placed them there, adding up to more than a hundred taels.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

When Lu Zhanqing saw so much silver, he didn't understand what Zhu Hao meant for a while.

Zhu Hao said: "Give you more use at a time, I may not have time to come over in the future, if you need anything, just find someone to know."

Lu Zhanqing looked regretful: "So the master still refuses to accept such a duckweed as a concubine, right?"

The words were full of tears, and Chu Chu was pitiful.

But in fact, Lu Zhanqing is not so depressed now, she lives a stable life in the capital, has freedom, and even Zhang Luo does some small business, and wants to be the owner herself, Zhu Hao originally intended to let her participate in the workshop and the women's school, but unfortunately it can't be implemented, everything is that Lu Zhanqing has never been able to stand in front of the stage.

Her relationship with Zhu Hao can't be clearly defined, and Zhu Hao doesn't want people to know what she has to do with Lu Zhanqing and Lu Wan.

After all, the identity of Lu Wan's granddaughter is still too sensitive.

Zhu Hao said: "I didn't restrict your personal freedom, if you want to get married, these will be my dowry."

When Lu Zhanqing heard this, he said with a sense of arrogance: "Master, please don't despise the concubine, although the concubine is not favored by the master, she has already regarded herself as the wife of the Zhu family, even if she is nameless and pointless, the lord's kindness must be reciprocated, and the Lu family will definitely not be ungrateful."

"Oh."

Zhu Hao didn't think Lu Zhanqing was so affectionate and righteous.

Or, if he Zhu Hao was just an ordinary person, would Lu Zhanqing still be like this?

Let's make friends with interests!

Zhu Hao said: "Your brother has arrived in Beijing, and now he is in the Jinyi Guard, do you want to see it?"

"Nope."

Lu Zhanqing replied very directly.

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded again, "It's okay if you don't see it, but your family already knows that you are all right now, and I basically won't come forward in person for the Lu family, but if it's in terms of position and future prospects, I can help."

Lu Zhanqing said: "The Lu family can be preserved, and it all depends on the protection of the master."

"I can't say that, I can only say that your Lu family is in a very special position, your grandfather is guilty, but the crime is not as good as that of relatives, and you are not guilty now, so there is no need to hide...... There are two contracts here, one is this house, and the other is just around the street, which is a shop, and now there is some rice and grain business, and the shopkeeper and helpers are ready-made, so you can take them."

Zhu Hao said, and took out an envelope from his arms, which was the deed Zhu Hao said.

Lu Zhanqing took it in his hand and seemed to understand what Zhu Hao meant.

If she accepted the silver and indicated that she wanted to fly solo, maybe Zhu Hao would not take out the deed again and part ways with her directly.

She indicated that she wanted to stay by Zhu Hao's side, which was equivalent to confirming the identity of Zhu Hao's outer house, and Zhu Hao needed to give her the basis for survival.

Relying on her own small fuss to go out to do business by herself, it is difficult to succeed, and she has to show her face, which is not in line with Zhu Hao's identity, Zhu Hao directly sent two houses, just the yard where she lives, don't look at the small place, but in the land of the capital, it is worth a thousand taels of silver, or how to say that it is not easy to live in the capital?

As for the pavement...... That's even more valuable.

Lu Zhanqing said, "These are all given to me by the master?"

"Hmm."

cinnabar

Hao said, "You must always have a way to beg for a living, and you will keep it, and if it is not enough, it will be given again in the future."

Although Lu Zhanqing didn't value these things outside her body, she was still very moved to get them.

This fully shows that Zhu Hao is the kind of responsible man, as long as she is willing to pay, she can get rewards from Zhu Hao...... And Zhu Hao is generous, which not only shows that Zhu Hao is powerful and powerful, but also shows that Zhu Hao's purse is very bulging, and a woman who is raised in a foreign house can send so much, so how rich is Zhu Hao's family property?

Lu Zhanqing said: "The master will be in the court class in the future, and he shouldn't want people to know about the relationship with the concubine, but the concubine always has to be reciprocated, when will the master officially ask for me?" I'm talking about...... My body."

Now Lu Zhanqing has figured it out.

Names and everything are floating clouds.

Since she decided to stay by Zhu Hao's side, don't think about the reputation, first think about when to establish a relationship with Zhu Hao, so that she has a good idea in her heart.

Zhu Hao didn't expect Lu Zhanqing to be so direct, and said with a smile; "You and I are both young, why are you in a hurry? Besides, you just want to see your life at a glance, and you're sure it won't change again? I've been busy with business lately, so let's do it, I'll often come over to have a meal with you in the future, communicate more, cultivate feelings, and other things...... Let it be, and when the time comes, it will come naturally."

Zhu Hao is a person who is greedy for beauty?

If so, he would already have a group of wives and concubines around him now.

People who do big things don't take their children's private affairs very seriously, and when it comes to Zhu Hao's status, it is really difficult for him to take care of the men and women around him.

Even on Sun Lan's side, he was just dragging it, let alone Lu Zhanqing.

Zhu Hao turned around and walked towards the door, followed by Lu Zhanqing.

Zhu Hao looked at the furnishings in the courtyard and sighed, "This second courtyard is still a little smaller, so I'll replace it for you in the future."

"That's good already."

Lu Zhanqing really didn't have any luxury.

What else do you want if you can mix a house in the capital?

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then you bring someone over to take over the shop as soon as possible, how to operate it is up to you to decide, I have read the accounts, last month's revenue, it was less than ten taels." More than 100 taels of silver a year is definitely enough for you to live. If you want to take care of it and make more profits, it's all up to you."
